Answer

On adding 5% alkaline potassium permanganate solution drop by drop to some warm ethanol, we would observe that the purple color of potassium permanganate starts disappearing; the product formed by this process; ethanoic acid can turn blue litmus red.
$\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{OH}+2[\text{O}]\xrightarrow[{\text{or}\ \text{acidified}\text{K}_2\text{Cr}_2}\text{O}_7]{{ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{Alkaline}\text{KmnO}_4;\text{Heat}}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ }\text{CH}_3\text{COOH}+\text{H}_2\text{O}$

Read the following paragraph and answer the questions based on it:
If heat is exchanged between a hot and cold object, the temperature of the cold object goes on increasing due to gain of energy and the temperature of the hot object goes on decreasing due to loss of energy.
The change in temperature continues till the temperatures of both the objects attain the same value. In this process, the cold object gains heat energy and the hot object loses heat energy. If the system of both the objects is isolated from the environment by keeping it inside a heat resistant box, then no energy can flow from inside the box or come into the box.
